Thanks Gavin, That would probably be a little cleaner than the above solution. I actually was able to get it to work using the Lifecycle.beginCall/endCall and using the contexts. We are still determining if 4.2 is a viable option at this point, so I will probably leave the code as is until that decision is made. Otherwise, I will probably implement as a SLSB.
